Tacky Tahs vs Sulky Sharks Live

Lots of phases for the Tahs but the Sharks' defense hold. They concede a penalty though and Foley goes for touch.

Sharks fast asleep as the Tahs take a quick throw.

Another penalty Tahs, going for posts this time it seems. Foley slots it, 3-0.

Good day Pakie. Almosr said top of the mornin' to you and then realised it's almost noon.

3-zip. Go Sharkies!

Howzit Draad.

Silly little kick by Bosch, wasn't on. Possession Tahs.

Good tackles Esterhuizen & Nkosi.

Wow Am!

Good take in the air Fassi. Bosch kicks deep, too deep. Beale all the time in the world to clear.

How did they not sco re there?

Great break Am. Sharks should have made more of that, average cross kick by Bosch.

And Botter brother 8 scores under the posts!

Yeah they messed that up Draad.

Dan du Preez scores, good go forward from Esterhuizen and Du Toit. Looked almost too easy in the end.

Am puts it to the boot, chase is on. Tahs have it though, but Sharks get the scrum feed 20m out right in front .

7-3 Sharks after 17 minutes.

Beast blown up at the scrum. Tahs clear to halfway.

Fassi spills the high ball and the Tahs have it.

Turnover is good, nice little half break from W right only to throw the pass into touch.

Am very involved on defense.

Turnover Sharks and it was on outside but for a great smother tackle on Mapimpi by Tahs 14. Looks like it smothered the air from his lungs as well.

Good clearance by Bosch to inside the Tahs half, smart play.

Tahs go blind, Sharks asleep, try.

Sharks had no one covering the blind side outside of Wright at the ruck and the Tahs exploit it easily .

10-7 Tahs, minute 26.

Sharks shovel it wide well but they're not engaging the inside defense.

Penalty Sharks high tackle. Going for the three. Bosch slots it, 10-10.

JL DuP making good yards in traffic off the kicko ff.

The Sharks defense have been excellent apart from that lapse that lead to the try. They're not just tackling, they're holding the carriers up and driving on them.

Beast should have passed earlier, opportunity lost.

Long passes not working for the Sharks, it stops all momentum. Put it through the hands.

Fassi drops another high one and Tahs get it back. Can't play full back if you can't catch the high balls, lad.

Bosch clears, lineout Tahs just outside the Sharks 22.

Intercept Wright, Sharks rumble ahead. Wright kicks high, Nkosi beaten in the air, Tahs attack.

Think our wings and fullbacks should go play some Aussie rules for practice.

Bosch kicks deep, not much of a chase. Tahs return, Sharks counter, Esterhuizen's long pass is intercepted. Quit with the freaking long passes guys.

And Sharks muck up another attacking opportunity through a poorly judged stab ahead by Wright. He's been pretty average after the high hopes I had for him.

Half time 10-10. Sharks have been outstanding defensively but unable to mount any constructive attack outside of their first try .
